Oncolytic Combinations For The Treatment Of Cancer

Abstract: This invention provides compositions and methods useful for treating cancers, in particular, cancers that are not multi drug resistant. The methods of the present invention include the 2",2"-difluoronucleoside anti-cancer agents described in US Patent 5,464,826 in combination with leukotriene (LTB4) antagonists of formula A, formula I and formula II, described below. Surprisingly, we have found that the combination of 2",2"-difluoro nucleoside anti-cancer agents with leukotriene (LTB4) antagonists act synergistically against cancers which are not multi-drug resistant. The types of cancers that may be treated with the compositions of the present invention include: Breast Carcinoma, Bladder Carcinoma. Colorectal Carcinoma, Esophageal Carcinoma, Gastric Carcinoma, Germ Cell Carcinoma e.g. Testicular Cancer. Gynecologic Carcinoma, Lymphoma Hodgkin"s, Lymphoma - Non-Hodgkin"s, Malignant Melanoma, Multiple Myeloma, Neurologic Carcinoma, Brain Cancer, Pancreatic Carcinoma, Prostate Carcinoma, Ewings Sarcoma, Osteosarcoma, Soft Tissue Sarcoma, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Pediatric Malignancies and the like.
